Polkadot Retraces from Recent High, May Slide to $49 Low

Today, the price of Polkadot (DOT) is in slight resistance after rising to a high of $54. The cryptocurrency rallied and reached an overbought region. The recovery became necessary as the altcoin was held below the $46 resistance for two weeks.

The breakout takes the altcoin to the next resistance. Further upside is possible if the altcoin falls back to support above the 21-day line SMA. The current uptrend is hampered by the cryptocurrency's overbought condition. DOT/USD is likely to reach the high of $58 if the bulls break the high of $54.
